Report: West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis targeting Peter Crouch

New West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis is targeting Stoke City striker Peter Crouch in the January window, according to reports.

Pulis has been given funds to bring in new players at West Brom as the side sit 16th in the Premier League, and The Mirror claims that Crouch is an early target.

The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and knows Pulis well after they spent two years together at Stoke, while Pulis reportedly sees Crouch at the target man he needs.

Crouch has scored five goals so far this season.
